the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o 118._o shall_v be_v hurtful_a to_o any_o if_o a_o child_n that_o can_v read_v be_v enter_v into_o the_o school_n that_o he_o may_v learn_v to_o read_v be_v

the_o reason_n of_o the_o delusion_n and_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o do_v not_o stay_v till_o they_o be_v at_o age_n shall_v we_o thus_o make_v god_n the_o delude_a and_o blind_a of_o the_o jew_n and_o accuse_v his_o sacred_a law_n and_o institution_n of_o error_n if_o it_o be_v a_o high_a favour_n to_o they_o to_o be_v enter_v in_o infancy_n into_o the_o church_n and_o covenant_n how_o come_v it_o to_o be_v a_o hurt_n or_o wrong_v to_o we_o now_o 4._o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o proselyte_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v enter_v at_o age_n so_o much_o better_a than_o the_o case_n of_o their_o own_o child_n and_o of_o all_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o child_n and_o have_v the_o jew_n god_n own_o people_n less_o mercy_n 119._o than_o those_o that_o be_v thus_o

you_o can_v reject_v upon_o any_o scripture-ground_n and_o may_v it_o not_o become_v customary_a formal_a and_o consistent_a with_o great_a ignorance_n and_o they_o that_o will_v make_v no_o

have_v make_v it_o first_o in_o their_o own_o name_n see_v the_o violation_n of_o either_o will_v alike_o forfeit_v their_o salvation_n 6._o do_v not_o minister_n endeavour_v to_o take_v man_n off_o

that_o they_o will_v be_v less_o serious_a in_o the_o business_n 9_o if_o god_n will_v have_v infant_n to_o be_v church-member_n and_o so_o enter_v by_o baptism_n be_v not_o all_o these_o objection_n against_o god_n and_o a_o carp_n at_o his_o way_n now_o have_v inquire_v about_o the_o ground_n and_o proof_n and_o defence_n of_o the_o 125._o church-membership_a and_o baptism_n of_o infant_n next_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o your_o practice_n of_o delay_a baptism_n have_v as_o much_o warrant_n in_o god_n word_n 1._o where_o do_v you_o find_v one_o word_n of_o precept_n or_o example_n in_o all_o the_o bible_n for_o defer_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o child_n of_o any_o one_o christian_a till_o year_n of_o discretion_n shall_v not_o you_o bring_v some_o scripture_n 126._o for_o your_o way_n who_o require_v such_o express_a proof_n from_o we_o now_o can_v you_o show_v one_o word_n of_o command_n or_o example_n here_o if_o you_o can_v how_o can_v you_o say_v that_o you_o be_v the_o scripture-way_n 2._o be_v not_o your_o way_n inconsistent_a with_o obedience_n to_o the_o rule_n be_v it_o not_o christ_n rule_n that_o person_n shall_v be_v baptize_v without_o delay_n when_o they_o be_v first_o make_v disciple_n do_v not_o this_o appear_v in_o the_o commission_n mat._n 28._o 19_o 20._o where_o christ_n adjoin_v baptise_v immediate_o to_o discipling_n and_o from_o constant_a

use_v of_o baptism_n 127._o be_v not_o this_o the_o use_n of_o baptism_n to_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o their_o first_o covenant_n with_o christ_n and_o solemn_a admission_n into_o the_o church_n then_o be_v it_o not_o to_o be_v use_v at_o their_o first_o admission_n if_o any_o reason_n of_o necessity_n or_o convenience_n cause_v it_o to_o be_v put_v off_o a_o few_o day_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o delay_v it_o month_n and_o year_n as_o you_o do_v though_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o warrant_n in_o scripture_n for_o any_o delay_n at_o all_o but_o as_o necessity_n may_v excuse_v it_o now_o though_o you_o yield_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sign_n to_o 341._o they_o when_o they_o come_v to_o age_n yet_o what_o be_v it_o but_o a_o empty_a sign_n quite_o beside_o christ_n institution_n and_o void_a of_o the_o true_a end_n of_o baptism_n for_o how_o can_v it_o then_o be_v the_o initiate_a sign_n to_o those_o that_o have_v be_v long_o in_o the_o church_n before_o i_o the_o child_n of_o christian_n be_v disciple_n 128._o in_o their_o infancy_n then_o how_o can_v you_o that_o baptise_v they_o not_o till_o they_o come_v to_o age_n in_o so_o do_v baptise_v they_o when_o they_o be_v first_o disciple_n and_o further_o suppose_v this_o be_v not_o prove_v that_o infant_n be_v disciple_n yet_o if_o you_o can_v know_v when_o such_o child_n be_v first_o disciple_v except_o it_o be_v in_o their_o infancy_n how_o can_v you_o baptise_v they_o when_o they_o be_v first_o disciple_v take_v discipleship_n at_o present_a in_o your_o own_o sense_n and_o set_v aside_o the_o consideration_n of_o mere_a relative_n infant-discipleship_a how_o can_v you_o know_v it_o since_o god_n use_v to_o work_v such_o as_o be_v bear_v and_o bring_v up_o of_o christian_a parent_n to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o christ_n by_o such_o insensible_a degree_n that_o the_o begin_n of_o their_o true_a acknowledgement_n be_v ordinary_o unperceivable_a again_o see_v such_o do_v not_o usual_o know_v themselves_o when_o they_o be_v first_o disciple_n in_o this_o sense_n how_o much_o less_o can_v other_o know_v it_o 3._o will_v not_o this_o practice_n of_o 130._o you_o necessary_o fill_v the_o church_n with_o perpetual_a contention_n as_o be_v about_o a_o matter_n that_o can_v be_v determine_v by_o any_o know_a rule_n and_o can_v that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n if_o the_o gospel_n occasion_v contention_n do_v it_o any_o more_o than_o occasion_n they_o but_o will_v not_o this_o natural_o and_o necessary_o produce_v they_o and_o that_o in_o the_o church_n and_o among_o 131._o the_o best_a minister_n and_o christian_n when_o will_v the_o church_n or_o minister_n ever_o agree_v upon_o it_o when_o their_o understanding_n or_o seem_a seriousness_n be_v arrive_v at_o that_o degree_n which_o must_v satisfy_v whereas_o it_o be_v easy_o know_v to_o all_o and_o can_v be_v no_o controversy_n when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o profess_v himself_o 132._o a_o disciple_n who_o be_v before_o a_o pagan_a yet_o when_o one_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n and_o bring_v up_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n and_o so_o come_v to_o it_o by_o insensible_a degree_n be_v not_o the_o case_n far_o different_a 4._o when_o you_o pretend_v to_o ground_v your_o practice_n on_o mat._n 28._o 19_o 20._o from_o whence_o you_o will_v infer_v that_o none_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o be_v first_o make_v disciple_n by_o teach_v though_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o indirect_o and_o remote_o the_o discipling_n of_o the_o parent_n be_v a_o discipling_n of_o his_o seed_n also_o will_v not_o your_o doctrine_n turn_v baptism_n for_o the_o most_o part_n out_o of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o saint_n according_a to_o you_o only_o they_o that_o be_v make_v disciple_n by_o ministerial_a teach_n direct_o shall_v by_o this_o rule_n be_v baptise_a and_o in_o a_o well-ordered_a godly_a church_n will_v not_o these_o be_v
